High school seniors are flexing their status on campuses across the state and country in a number of ways, but painted parking spaces have become the most talked about tradition on social media this back-to-school season.

The trendy tradition is another way of the upperclassmen marking their territory and letting anyone slated beneath them on the totem pole to steer clear from their parking slot. Some schools designate painting days ahead of the school year for students to deck out their spaces with art that represents them best.
